I have tried the following code, but doesn't work unless I protect the sheet:
Range("A1:A4").Select
Selection.Locked = True
Selection.FormulaHidden = False
If I protect the sheet, then it works fine, but how can I make a cell read only
WITHOUT protecting the sheet?
I'm trying to create a formula in a cell that references another cell but I only need it to reference the decimal. How would I go about doing this and is it even possible?

I have attached three excel files .....In the file called 'sampleBook1latest' I have a button called 'click here to clear a schedule' If I click that button and choose OR,start time and duration of a surgery then a schedule that is already created wil get cleared.....I have the total number of nurses and number of nurses used saved to the side of the sheet..... The total number of nurses at the side is read from another excel file called 'Input file for # of nurses'
Now the problem is that if clear a schedule then the number of nurses used is not getting updated at the side.....if I clear a schedule then the number of nurses at the side should also get updated....for example(If I create a schedule with 3 nurses and if only a total of 3 nurses are available then..... the used number of nurses for that specific time at the side will get updated to 3 from 0 and if I clear that schedule then the used nurses for that time should again become 0)....
The other problem is that if I schedule a surgery then all details of the surgery will be saved in another excel sheet called 'input file for patient details' so if I clear a schedule then all the details of that surgery saved in that excel sheet should also be cleared......
I need to make a workbook read only depending upon certain conditions that are apparent only on start up. As I cannot assign the ReadOnly property, is my only solution to trap the Save command and dissallow "save changes".

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to open a file on a network drive...but I'm getting the following error message when it opens: "This file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or the server the document is stored on may not be responding." Now, the file itself has no rights restrictions and is not read only. It doesn't appear to be locked.
Now, there are other Excel files in the same directory which I could open fine; however, the Excel documents having the above problem all have a little black icon "appears to be a padlock" (image attached) at the bottom left hand side of the Excel file icon. I tried the following:
- Renaming
- Converting to a different file format (didn't work, it won't let me)
- Opening in notepad...etc doesn't work.
This file is dated back in 2004...do you think it's corrupt? Is there anything i can do to open or recover this?
For Each C In Sheets("data").Range("A2", Range("A2").End(xlDown))
With C
If IsDate(.Value) Then
.Offset(0, 3).Value = Format(.Value, "yyyymmdd")
Else
.Offset(0, 3).Value = Right(.text, 4)
End If
End With
Next C
which is supposed to read the cell offset 3 to the right, and then set to either YYYYMMDD or YYYY depenig on the value in the cell. I'm not sure how to specify the first part of this line - .Offset(0, 3).Value = Format(.Value, "yyyymmdd") - it keeps reading the cell in column A, rather than the offset cel.

How do I alter this code so that it acts like an INDIRECT function so will pick up a cell reference in another cell?

I am trying to get a SUM function to recognise values within a range of cells, that are immediately followed by a *. i.e. 34*
For each range i need to count the total number of inputs, count the number of starred inputs & add up all the values entered.
Currently COUNT doesn't recognise starred values, COUNTIF is set to count only starred values, and SUM wont recognise the value of the starred values.
Is there a way to only read the number element of an input - there are only integer values & starred integer values. The starred inputs are also conditionally formatted. If there is a way would it then affect the COUNT/COUNTIF element?

is it possible to read cell content and use that in a (search)url? somekind of auto-layout or what ever?
i'd have a collumn which has a lot of titles (in different cells), is it possible some way or another to read the content of the different cells and to apply that (in an array?) to an URL?
so use 1 url and add the different cell content as a variable to it?
i.e. i'd like to use this url: [url]=[url] for the whole collumn and automatically all new lines that might be added and ,,CELL-INFO'' should be replaced bij the different cell content in the column (Column:A)
I have the following task

2. in sheet 2 I have to import the data from these web sites as it follows
from www.datapage.com/source1 starting from cell A1

I have one excel workbook which has 10 rows of data. I need to access another excel wb which has 10 rows of data and get the variance. The key here is wb 1 has the data as I manual gather it and it changes very often. WB 2 also changes to equal the number of rows in Wb 1.
A> I would like to call Wb 2 from Wb 1 and copy those 10
B> It should be able to handle change in the number of rows in WB 2
C> It should be able to call workbook 2 irrespective i name it differently.
Is there a way i can achieve all the 3 above?

I've recently discovered the usefulness of VB in excel and have managed to write some basic macros that enhance many of my workbooks. BUT, I've bumped into a problem I can't seem to solve. Please help!
I'm looking to import the values in a large range of cells ( 5 x 5000) in a closed workbook into a range that i specify in an open one, where both workbooks are housed in the same directory. I also want to include logic that allows me to move the 2 files to different directories (the names will never change, only the paths) and have the code still work--I believe i'd use relative path references?
I've found lots of snippets of code on the topic but can't seem to get any of them to work. For instance: http://spreadsheetpage.com/index.php...a_closed_file/
Problem is, I'm so new that I don't even know where to begin pasting the code (objects vs. modules, etc) in the VBA editor.
I've written a script to read all the values in an excel worksheet in to an array. The cell types differ from General or Text to Custom - HH:MM When I look through the array the script has returned the correct value for most but for the cells that are of a custom type an "incorrect" value has been returned. For example a cell of type Custom HH:MM which is 10:23:00 in the worksheet appears as 0.432638888888889 in the array. Is there a way to get the script to return the correct value?
Below is an extract of the code I've used
If objWorksheet.Cells(i, "D") <> "" Then
If objWorksheet.Cells(i, "F") <> "" Then
arrCULDEV = Split(objWorksheet.Cells(i, "F"), ":")
Redim Preserve arrSheetInfo(x)
arrSheetInfo(x) = arrCULDEV(0) & "," & arrCULDEV(1)
x = x + 1
i = i + 1
Else
i = i + 1
End If
End If
